Have yet to document my recent solo_movie.saga experiences...
The Equalizer - 8/10
Felt kind of "formulaic" in the sense that "revenge movies" seem to be in vogue, but Denzel was awesome in it and it was more gruesome than I expected.
Gone Girl - 8/10
It kept me guessing and made me feel strongly about the characters in different ways throughout the movie. Did kind of drag, though. There were two or three times where I thought the movie was wrapping up and became conscious of how long I'd been sitting there.
The Judge - 7/10
I hate reading other peoples' reviews of movies because I find myself adopting their opinions of it. For The Judge I read Wesley Morris' review and the jist was, "the movie is trying to do too many things", which I kind of agree with. I enjoyed it though, RDJ can make me enjoy any movie at this point.
Fury - 8/10
I was expecting it to be super gory but it really wasn't. Characters were really good, didn't seem overly ridiculous or beyond the realm of possibility... good movie
John Wick - 7/10
I found this one hard to rate. It was another "revenge" type movie. Like the storyline itself was interesting enough and all, and whatever. I loved the kind of "world" it presented, this underbelly of hitmen that gathered at this hotel. Had a very cool vibe to it. Lots of the fight scenes were good. I liked Keanu in this. There was a lot of ridiculousness but I liked the vibe of the movie overall.
